Imi Maufe

LK243 UnderSail artist in residency. Imi Maufe was artist in residency onboard the Swan, a 1900 herring drifter from Shetland, during the Tall Ships Race 2011.

The residency was organised by a partnership of Shetland Arts, an arts development agency based in Lerwick, Shetland (www.shetlandarts.org); Taigh Chearsabhagh, a museum and arts centre in Lochmaddy on the Hebridean island of North Uist (www.taigh-chearsabhagh.org) and the Swan Trust (www.swantrust.com).

LK243 UnderSail was made possible through the funding awarded by Scotland’s Islands as part of a year long celebration of Scotland’s Islands and their culture, and Creative Scotland with Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, as part of the national Calouste Gulbenkian Scottish Islands’ Project (www.gulbenkian.org.uk).
